Watch Solange Cover Kate Bush’s “Cloudbusting” At Coachella

The big news from Solange’s Coachella set came when her big sister Beyoncé joined her onstage for a giddy synchronized dance to “Losing You.” But Solange’s Coachella set was still full of indications that she’s the arty weirdo of the Knowles family. She trotted out her cover of Dirty Projectors’ “Stillness Is The Move,” and she also tried out a new cover, doing a house-informed take on Kate Bush’s 1985 art-pop classic “Cloudbusting.” It took forever for fan-made videos of that song to appear on YouTube, but a couple of them are finally up there. One sounds OK, but it’s from pretty far back. Another is right up close, but the sound is a mess. So watch them both and imagine some ideal fusion of them — or, better yet, imagine being there.

Solange will be back at Coachella this weekend, and I’m genuinely curious whether her sister will join her again.
